Welcome to "The Resistance" forum edition. Link to "The Resistance" board game: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/41114/the-resistance
Resistance is a game that's essentially a variant on the kingmaker setup of mafiascum, the main difference is players vote for teams and no players are removed from the game. This will be my first time running this game online. Marshy helped me tune this board game into an online forum format and he will be my co mod.
How to play
- Sign up in the thread. Once this game hits the signups #, everyone will be PMed with either a Resistance (town) or Spy (Mafia) role. In this game there will be 4 resistance and 3 spies
- Spies will have a QT open for 48 hours to discuss anything, spies may communicate using this method during AND ONLY DURING pregame (this is meant to be a board game after all).
- Once that phase is over, the game starts with the "assign" phase. The next (starts with the first) player in the list will be King and that player will have 24 hours to make a team, failure to do so will result in their turn being skipped. The king will make a team with X number of players (list out players per phase). All players may post in the thread during "assign" phase.
- The entire playerlist will then have 96 hours to post and either 'approve" the team or "reject" the team in the "deliberation" phase. Upon "approval", the game will move to the "execution" phase, upon "rejection", the game will move back to the "assign" phase with the next king in line assigning a team. The playerlist may post in thread during this phase.
--If there are 5 rejects before an execution phase in reached, the next reject will automatically end in a spy victory.
-This vote is majority rules, and all votes are sent privately to the game moderator, once all votes have been sent or the deadline has expired, everyone's votes will be publicly announced.
- Once a team is accepted, players on the team will have 24 hours to vote on the mission, this is called the "execution" phase. The results of these votes are public, but the voter behind each vote is private. A spy may choose to send in a "fail" OR a "pass" vote, Resistance members automatically send in a "pass" vote. Spies win a round if one or more "fail" is in the voting results (unless the phase specifically needs 2 or more fails). Resistance wins if no "fail" votes are sent. (Unless spies need 2 "fail" votes to win the round. Players may not post during this phase.
- This process is repeated until one team has won 3 rounds.
The specifics of team size is found here, but I will say how many people will be on the team daily.
The top column for both charts is number of players.
The left chart shows that means 4 resistance, 3 spies.
The right chart shows that phase 1 will have 2 players on the team, phase 2 is 3 players, phase 3 is 3 players, phase 4 is 2 players, and phase 5 is 4 players.
A * indicates two fails are needed to fail the mission for that phase.

Activity and Deadlines
1.) You are required to post every 48 hours. If you fail to do so, you will be prodded. An accumulation of too many prods (however much I think that is) will result in your replacement depending on the circumstances. When feasible, I will tell you if I'm considering replacing you if feasible. If you will be inactive for an extended period of time, you must notify me in advance. Unexcused or particularly long absences may result in your replacement.
2.) I do not expect to grant deadline extensions, barring extenuating circumstances. In the event I need to replace a player, I may extend the deadline to accommodate the new player. Certain game events may also result in a change of deadline.
3.) Hydras most post on their accounts. If they do not then that hydra's next post must be a copy + paste of their previous post.

Game-specific
1.) The game mod is the game god. However, if you feel the game god happens to be testing your faith by placing an error in the game, then please feel free to point it out via PM
2.) All roles are assigned entirely at random.
3.) All of these rules are written on a dry erase board. In the event of a conflict between these rules and any game-specific rules or mod communication, the game-specific rules/mod communication take precedence.
